Hay, What is it good for?
The Hay Guide Chart was one of the first and, for a long period of time, one of the most prevalent methods of job evaluation used by organizations. It is a point factor system that relies on three components: know-how, problem solving and accountability. With its flexible approach and its ability to provide calibration against other positions inside the organization, the Hay Methodology rode roughshod over most other forms of job evaluation until the late 1980s.
